i have files in mounted drives

/folder1/
/folder2/
/folder3/

The files i link to come up 404 and the error log shows: /var/www/webiste/fileIlinkedto

Can anyone show me how fix this error?

I think it should be working like: site.com/file

and it should go get the file from one of the folders /folderX/file

any help would be GREATLY apprieciated!

below is my nginx site config file:

root /var/www/website;
index index.php;
client_max_body_size 5G;
location ~ \.php$ {
if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite ^/(.*) /index.php?_page_url=$1 last;}
fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index  index.php;
fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME   $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include        fastcgi_params;
}

location / {
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^/(.*) /index.php?_page_url=$1 last;
}
}
